Infosys on Wednesday opened its technology and innovation hub in Hartford, Connecticut.

The company said this hub would help work more closely with its clients in the region and will serve as the global Hub for its InsurTech and HealthTech efforts. The facility will feature Living Labs for the insurance, healthcare and manufacturing sectors among other things.

The Bengaluru-headquartered software services exporter also said that it has hired more than 7,000 American workers in the last 18 months as part of its plan to hire nearly 10000 Americans to boost digital innovation for American enterprises.

Labs at the Hartford hub will bring together expertise in business and technologies such as blockchain, extended reality and cognitive capabilities with techniques like Design Thinking, Agile, and DevOps.

“The inauguration of our Hartford Technology and Innovation Hub is an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to help American enterprises revitalize their core businesses. This Hub, along with five other hubs around the country, will help us to seamlessly collaborate with our clients to develop agile, cross-functional digital solutions to today’s most pressing business needs,” Pravin Rao, Infosys COO, was quoted saying.

Ravi Kumar, President, Infosys, said this hub will closely collaborate with clients as companies in the region, including across insurance, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors, are experiencing rapid digitization.

“In the months since the announcement that Infosys would put down roots in Connecticut and create over 1,000 jobs to Hartford, they have already become strong corporate partners,” Governor Malloy was quoted saying.
